LANE, of Montgomery, for Governor. (Cheers.)

Mr. Nelson of Vigo rose, and moved to amend. There was, he said, a man who had taken the championship of the Republican movement in this State when it was in its infancy, who had^ fought for it with all his power, and of whose abilitv, dignity and manliness all Republicans have a grateful recollection. whom he desired to nominate l'or the second place on the ticket. It was not the place his friends could have wished, and it was not commensurate with his claims or abilities, but it was a place where he could serve the cause lie supported, and he (Mr. Nelson) believed he would take it. If he did. it would be the most chivalrous and sellsacriticing act of his carce, and would endear him stiil more to the party who already esteemed him so highly, and deserved lv. He begged to nominate for Lieutenant Governor OLIVER P. MORTON, of Wayne. (Loud and enthusiestic cheering.)

Mr. Meridit.h now moved that Mr. Lane and Mr. Morton be nominated together for the offices of Governor and Lieutenant Governor. The proposal was received and adopted with long continued, repeated and hearty cheers. Loud calls for -Lane" now arose, but Mr. Meredith stated that Col. Lane was. in his room resting, and would speak in the afternoon Morton, but it was announced thai too would speak in the afternoon.

A recess was then taken to enable the various

counties tv arrange their various candidates.

Resolved, 1. That while disunion doctrines arc proclaimed in the Halls ot Congress by the Democracy, and disunion purposes openly avowed, we point with pride to the fact that not a single Republican, cither in Congress or in the walks of private life—not a single Republican press—not a single Republican orator—not a single Republican convention, has avowed any design against the integrity of the Lnion. even should the present Administration and its corrupt policy be perpetuated by the vote of the people. 2. That we are opposed to the new and dangerous doctrine advocated by the Democratic party, that thc^l: ederal Constitution carries slavery into the public Territories that we believe slavery cannot exist anywhere in this Government unless by positive local law, and that we will oppose its extension into the Territories of the Federal Government by all the power known to the Constitution of the United States. 3. That we arc opposed to any intcrferenec with slavery where it exihts untier the sanction of State law that the soil of every State should be protected jfrom lawless invasion from every quarter, and that the citizcnsof every State should be protected from illegal arrests 'and searches, as well as from mob violence. 4. That the Territory of Kansas, now desiring admission under a Constitution Republican in form, expressing the will ami wish of an overwhelming majority of her people, ought to be admitted as a sovereign member of the

Union, speedily and without delay. 5. That we are in favor of the imiuc-

COL. LANE'S SPEECH.

After the reading of the resolutions deafening cheers were raised for Lane, and amid prolonged shouts the Convention's nominee for Governor came to the front ofthe stage.

He said he had intended to make but a few remarks, but as the business of the Convention was over he would speak at some length. (A voice—uGo

all night, old fellow! He spoke of Democratic misrule in Indiana, of Democratic threats of disunion in Congress, which were never rebuked by either the press or the speakers of the part}*. He said Gov. Willard had recommended the building of a penitentiary in this State, and then refused to carry out his recommendation. He did not know, however, but what the Governor was right, for if Republicanism kept on growing as it had been doing in the last six months Jetlersonville would be depopulated in a few years, and we would need no penitentiary. The Commissioners had located the prison at Fort Wayne—a good location, inasmuch as Allen county gave about one thousand Democratic majority.

He spoke of misrepresentations of his position by Democratic editors, who were prone to misunderstand him.— lie was for a change in the fugitive slave law, so as to make it not less effective, but less odious and more in accordance with the genius and spirit of our institutions and the present age.— On the question of slavery, the platform, he thought, might have been bettered. One resolution favored homes for the homeless. If it had been homes for the homely, lie and his friendNebekcr would certainly have quarter sections of Western land.

He reviewed the effects of the Ordinance of 1787, and asked if the people of Indiana were satisfied with its operations. Was it better to have free or slave territory? Did the people of Indiana love freedom or slavery most?— He could answer that we all lived here from choice—preferring freedom and its blessings to slavery and its evils.

Col. L. reviewed, briefly, the history of the slavery question exploded the humbug doctrines of squatter sovereignty as expounded by Stephen A. Douglas, and fastened the responsibility of all the war and bloodshed in Kansas and all the slavery agitation on the Democratic party.

8. That AVC consider the slave trade as justly held to be piracy b} the laA» of nations and our own laws, and that it is the dutv of all civilized nations, and of our public authorities to put a stop to it in all parts of the world. 9. That we arc in favor of equal rights to all citizens, at home and abroad, without reference to the place of their nativity, and that we will oppose any attempt to change the present Naturalization Laws. 10. That we regard the preservation of the American Union as the highest object and duty of patriotism, and that it must and shall be preserved, and that all who advocate disunion arc, and deserve the fate of traitors. 11. That we take this occasion to express our thanks to our Republican members in Congress, from this and other States, for

perseverance and

triumphant success in the organization of the House of Representatives, in the election of liigh-ininded and National men. over the efforts of a corrupt, sectional and disunion party. 12. That a Railroad to the Pacific Ocean, by the most central practicable

oolite, is imperatively demanded by the interests of the wholecountry, and that the Federal Government ought to render immediate and efficient aid to its construction. .. 13. That the soldiers of the war of 1812, who vet remain among us, deserve the grateful remembrance of the people, and that Congress should at once recognize their services by placing their names upon the pension rolls ofthe government. 1-1. That we arc opposed to the retrocession of the Wabash and Erie Canal, as well as to the State at coming liable for any ofthe debts or bonds, for which the same was transferred to sat isfy.

The platform was adopted unanimously, amidst loud and prolonged

Colonel Lane avowed his intention to visit every portion ofthe State during the canvass. lie had no private engagements to keep him at home until after the Presidential election. He would lay aside every weight, and the sin which most easily beset him, and endeavor to run with patience the race set before him. In a few hours the Convention would adjourn. It had constructed a good platform, and, with a slight exception which modesty for- ^(. JJ0UI3 bid him to mention, he thought the ticket an excellent one. No dissensions and no bickerings had been here. and he hoped every one would rally to the support of the candidates soon to be nominated in Chicago.

On behalf of Judge Morton, who had been called liorno by session nf court in Wayne county, he thanked the Convention for the honor conferred on him and pledged Judge M. to do all in his power for the success of the ticket. It was his intention to enter the canvass and carry on the war vigorously against spurious Democracy. [Here three rousing cheers were given for Morton.]

After a few additional remarks, in which he said victory was already ours. Col. Lane took his seat amidst prolonged cheers.

The prayer of his heart was aboutto be answered. 1 hei were to be homes for the homeless and (looking to Col. Lane) an office for the homely! (Prolonged cheers.)
